Argentinean Potato Salad

Sassy in da South's Note:

Definitely not the tater salad your gramma used to make (unless of course she was from SA). The recipe calls for 1 can of mixed veggies. We usually substitute that with fresh or frozen peas & corn. Try it either way ya like.

• ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
• 5 tablespoons chopped pimento stuffed olives

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
2. Cook peeled potatoes until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.
3. Drain, cool, and cube.
4. Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water.
5. Bring to a boil, and immediately remove from heat.

This is a good salad but it is not totally Argentinean. It is also found in Central America, Mexico, and most of the European countries. Aways served in the Slavic Countries.

This was good! I had some frozen mixed vegetables left over and decided to make this salad. I thought it would be "just ok" but I was wrong! I liked it a lot and will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe! Definitely a keeper!

Different but in a good kind of way...........I found the change of pace to be enjoyable, but we are onion lovers too and would like to see that added next time. It is always nice to mix things up a bit and we really liked the olives and dill combination. Used frozen vegetables as suggested and like to additional texture those added. All around a good choice for a change of pace. Thanks! ZWT 4 cookin' cats team
